Thank you very much for viewing. Obata Ningyo (Obata Dolls) Zodiac Dog Earthenware Doll Bunzo Hosoi Shiga Prefecture Auspicious Item Folk Toy Traditional Craft Folk Art Obata Ningyo from Shiga Prefecture is said to have been started by Yasubei Hosoi, the first generation, who was a messenger during the Genroku era of the Edo period. He learned the techniques of Fushimi dolls from Kyoto. Because it was close to Kyoto and was a market for Fushimi dolls for seasonal festivals, it is very similar to Fushimi dolls, but there are also many works unique to Obata Ningyo. It is still passed down as a representative folk toy of Shiga Prefecture.
